A quick Friday night dinner - I sautéd red and yellow capsicum with red cabbage, cabbage and corn with some ground cumin and paprika 🌶 served with avo 🥑 and Greek yoghurt, plus some quesadillas simply filled with mashed cannellini beans and homemade harissa ✨ have a good weekend everyone!

Another Easter recipe in the making - Easter egg fudge two ways, because even though I love peanut butter in everything I’m also trying to cater for my nut free friends! Both absolutely delicious, and low FODMAP!

Australians are getting a whopping 30% of their calories from #nutrientpoor#discretionaryfoods like cakes and biscuits. Discretionary foods should be kept to a minimum per day in order to optimise nutritional balance from the 5 nutritious food groups, even when doing #lowfodmap .

But why can’t biscuits be made to be #lowfodmap and generally healthier if they seem to make up a significant proportion of our #energyintake , and most of us are going to eat them anyway?? 🤔

Many of Dr. Antigone Kouris (APD)'s patients love biscuits and refuse to give them up for good. Protein balls can be #highsugar and #highfodmap , and can’t be dunked in tea or coffee!
After being challenged by one of her patients, Associate Professor Antigone Kouris developed a healthy biscuit range which was not only tasty and nutritious, but also suitable for people watching their #FODMAP intake, their weight and #bloodsugars ! This was how the @skinnybikdrkouris range was born.

Skinnybik are a “better for you” range of #lowsugar biscuits (2g/biscuit) with a 4.5 health star rating. They are so good, they (up to 4 biscuits) can be eaten as a satiating breakfast! They were recently voted healthiest biscuit choice by dietitian Melanie McGrice for @Channel9 Coach.

Aaaand, they have 340% more fibre (1.5g/biscuit) with 75% more protein.

Raw Snickers Chocolate Bar 😱🍫👌 ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
SO easy! This recipe is one of my new faves! There is something about the combination of peanuts and chocolate right?! It’s like mac & cheese … it was just meant to be! 👫⠀⠀
⠀⠀
If you’re a fan of Snickers but don’t want a sugar, foreign ingredient-laden bomb that will sit heavy in your stomach, then boy do I have the treat for you! The best thing about this recipe is that it’s bursting with healthy saturated fats, great sources of protein, and can be whipped up in the time it’d take you to pay that vending machine a visit! 😷⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Of course if peanuts aren’t your thing you can substitute with other FODMAP-friendly nuts and seeds of choice – I’ve experimented with sunflower seeds, pepitas, and crushed brazil nuts, all with successful results.👍 ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Makes: 4 servings ⠀⠀
Time taken: 30-35 minutes⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Nourishing Ingredients:⠀⠀
✅ 4 tbsps raw, unsalted peanuts ⠀⠀
✅ 1 cup organic virgin coconut oil, melted⠀⠀
✅ 1 cup raw cacao powder⠀⠀
✅ 20 drops of stevia (adjust depending on desired level of sweetness)⠀⠀
✅ pinch Himalayan sea salt (this helps draw out the flavour of the cacao)⠀⠀
✅ 1 tsp of lucuma powder (optional – you can find this at your local health food store – it adds a wonderful flavour & burst of nutrition)⠀⠀
⠀⠀
To Create: > In a small bowl, combine all ingredients except the peanuts > Line with baking paper with baking paper & pour in the raw chocolate mix.⠀⠀
> Sprinkle over peanuts/nuts of choice & freeze for 30 minutes before using your hands to break into rustic looking shards (for the homemade touch ;).⠀⠀
Note: Stevia can be replaced by rice malt or maple syrup but this is for a sugar free version. Don’t leave out at room temperature for too long as this creamy chocolate will melt so it’s best served straight from the freezer.⠀⠀

Happy Nourishing lovelies 😘⠀⠀
